Are rockstar energy drinks good for you?

I know someone who drinks a lot of energy drinks. Are Rockstar energy drinks good for you? Are there any side effects. How much is too much?

DO NOT DRINK ENERGY DRINKS!
Their just after your money. Your natural energy
is good enough for your body. If you feel tired during
the day, it's because you don't have enough rest.
just eat healthy food, like vegetables and fruit.
also lean meat and fish.
excersise regularly and you'll live happier.

all so called energy drink are just a joke.
you need energy?...go workout and exercise.
thats the only way to get more energy.

A lot of people said they have adverse effects to energy drinks, like twitching or nervousness. It seems they have a reaction to caffeine, such as an anxiety disorder or hypochondria. Please be better informed before saying it's the energy drink. Nothing on this site would deter me from drinking these things.

there great for you I get through 6 da day

can rockstars kill you if you are 13 and you have one every day
also I am 124 pounds and 5ft, 7 inches

Oh god. You honestly asked that. Jesus.

And then you got the 12 teaspoons of sugar in each drink. No type of energy drink is actually good for u.

if you think its healthy or good for your body you're crazy. Look up Rawfoodism. Go from there.

yo,

rockstar is awsome. my fav drink, I drink it about 4 times a week.(due to lack of shops that supply it where I live). I find the original rockstar gives me the biggest energy hit my hands twitch and I have to write really fast at school. I am aware of the sugar content but the sugar free one is really sweet too sweet for me.

but I have one before school and it deff works. my fav is the purple one.

but down here in OZ there is only normal, white, orange, green and purple. but most people I know love it for the effect and flavour.

I think consuming this in moderation wouldn be that bad for you. I was at a stage where I was drinkin atleast one a day and I felt good in the morning but super tired in the arvo. I have then cut down on the intake so its like a common treat that I look forward too.

but dont get me wrong these arnt good for you which is why consuming in moderation is important for the long run.

however these drinks are advertised everywhere in just about every extreme sports. motocross, FMX, skate, rally etc meaning that there is a lot of exposure to these drinks. not only that you see people like chad reed holding a rockstar when he is on the podium. what do people think teeneagers and young adults think?? they see their idol holding a popular drink and ofcourse they are going to as well. so the exposure is partially to blame.

these drinks are very addictive so its easy to consume them in large amounts daily.

anyway hope it helped.

ROCKSTAR is still THE BEST!

The main problem with energy drinks (like any other caffeinated drink) is the potential for dehydration, especially if you're in a hot environment or doing strenuous activities. General rule for caffeine- For every 8 oz you drink you need to drink 32 oz of plain old water to rehydrate (and you'll pee most of that out since caffeine is a diuretic-if your pee is yellow, drink more water!). The stories of it stunting your growth are totally unsubstantiated- there is NO medical proof, and there have been numerous medical tests done on the subject. I have a 14 year old son who has been a Starbucks junky since he was 10 and is already almost 6 feet tall, so if that were true I'd hate to see how tall he'd be if he wasn't consuming caffeine! Some people have a hypersensitivity to caffeine, which would produce some of the effects the other posters mentioned (jitters, eye twitches, etc). A nutritionist once told me that the biggest danger in energy drinks is actually the high amounts of B vitamins, too much of which can cause your nerves to be so overstimulated it can have a damaging effect (I don't know too much about that-it's just what I was told). Bottom line-everything in moderation and you should be just fine.

I suffer from Hepatitus C. I have been drinking Rockstar now for about 2 months (Punched!). The Milk Thistle, and Taurine combination have made me feel better than I Have in years. My Jaudice is much rarer. It does raise the blood preasure a bit, but hey, I am active again.
Taurine helps flush fatty deposits from the liver. Milk Thistle has long been known as being benneficial to liver health.
As for sugar... please folks. Would your rather be putting aspertane or High Fructose Corn Syrup (if you dont know what this realy does, you need to read on it ASAP) into your body? BRUSH YO TEEF!
My own observations here.
I love my rockstar.

and people your not addicted to them you just like them.its like drinking soda but dont abuse the use of and energy drink. but if you want to learn something about some of the things in here like Guarana,Ginseng,and Taurine look it up some of it helps your matabalism. but if you are worried about your weight drink the sugar free to me there better than the normal ones

You know what I drink energy drinks sometime and I dont feel anything.If you dont drink it everyday you wont have twitches or something like that,just sometimes and everythings okay.
